2019 Ring the Bell For Gender Equality

In celebration of International Women’s Day (8 March 2019), during the month of March, stock exchanges are hosting a bell ringing ceremony to raise awareness of the pivotal role the private sector can play in advancing gender equality to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 5.

These global ‘bell ringings’ aim to bring attention to the pivotal role the private sector can play in advancing gender equality to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and to raise awareness about the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs).

NASDAQ is hosting a closing bell ceremony in support of UN Women and as a proud signatory of the WEPs. The market closing bell is being preceded by a 90-minute event with a fireside chat and a panel discussion on innovation and gender equality. Register to attend.
